Depressed Rantings of a Mad Man

It's Friday of a short week when one should be upbeat but I'm depressed today. The world has changed and there seems to be nothing I can do about it.

These are just a few of my concerns:

After experiencing what was, it's sad to see what is.

Life in these United States will never be the same again!!
